Hello everybody,
I developed an R package that depends on packages hosted in GitHub.
In the DESCRIPTION file, I added the R packages (from GitHub ) in the
"Suggests" section and I included a copy of them in my personal GitHub so
they can be accessed in the "Additional_repositories:" section.
Suggests:
rmarkdown,
ANTsR,
ANTsRCore,
ITKR,
extrantsr,
MNITemplate,
RAVEL
Imports:
knitr,
oro.nifti,
fslr,
neurobase
Depends:
R (>= 3.5)
Additional_repositories: https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
A copy of the R packages my package needs is in
https://davidpayares.github.io/drat .
When I submit the package to CRAN, I get this error:
Suggests or Enhances not in mainstream repositories:
ANTsR, ANTsRCore, ITKR, extrantsr, MNITemplate, RAVEL
Availability using Additional_repositories specification:
ANTsR yes https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
ANTsRCore yes https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
ITKR yes https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
extrantsr yes https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
MNITemplate yes https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
RAVEL yes https://davidpayares.github.io/drat
Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64
Check: package dependencies, Result: ERROR
Packages suggested but not available for checking:
'ANTsR', 'ANTsRCore', 'ITKR', 'extrantsr', 'MNITemplate', 'RAVEL'
Namespace dependencies missing from DESCRIPTION Imports/Depends entries:
'MNITemplate', 'RAVEL', 'extrantsr'
I think this one is the part causing the ERROR. Without seeing your
package I can't say for sure, but I would guess you have made some
unconditional use of those three packages. Since they are only
Suggested packages, you can't do that. Your package has to run even if
they are not available at all. (It may not have full functionality, but
it shouldn't generate any errors in its tests or examples.)

I found that this is the correct way to add dependencies that are not
hosted in CRAN. However, I do not understand why it is not working. If
anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Cheers,
David Payares
